All exceptions to these conditions must be discussed with and approved by the Institute of Aviation Director
and/or the Dean of Career and Transfer Programs.
Note: Each level of proficiency is considered individually and must be earned separately. Attaining proficiency
at a higher level does not include earning proficiency for a lower level. Students seeking more than one level
of proficiency are advised to begin with the lower/lowest level.

2. Take the petition to the Institute of Aviation Director. The Director will sign the petition to indicate

the results on the petition, sign it, and forward the form to the Dean of Career and Transfer Programs.
RECORDING OF CREDIT

petition will be forwarded to the office of Admissions and Records for recording on the student’s permanent
